Since owning this bra I now understand why women of all shapes and sizes say it is a wardrobe must have. It has a lovely stretch-lace material that forms to your unique breast shape and is absolutely beautiful and sexy. Not only is it gorgeous, it is also extremely supportive so you can be sure this bra will not let you down. The only downside that on its own this bra gives a bit of a conical shape, but under clothes the shape is nice and round. I recommend that if you are interested in purchasing this bra that you bump up one cup size. (Example: 30FF would bump up to 30G)

This has been hailed as the world's best sports bra and I can see why. The firm band gives excellent support for every kind of workout, the straps stay in place (an issue I have struggled with), and it can be worn on its own without a shirt. Fit wise it is pretty true-to-size, but if you are between band sizes (i.e. your ribcage measures an odd number like 29", 31", 33", etc.) I strongly recommend going up a band size (example: a 30FF would go to a 32F). My only con is that the hook and eye tend to pop out. Although this does not effect the fit or function of the bra, it is a minor annoyance. Overall this is an excellent bra and lives up to its title as the world's best sports bra.

I love this bra! so much that I have it in 3 colors. It's a great everyday tshirt bra that is very comfortable to wear because of the spacer foam. I that it is full coverage. I am a 32E and it fits me very well.

This is a very supportive bra but is in no way a sexy bra. I could wear is all day and feel very confident in it, but it has so much support that I found I couldn't wear some shirts with it. Some of my basic tshirts that aren't low cut would still show the very top of the bra. So you have to be selective in what you wear.

It's hard sometimes to find a bra that fits a larger breast size .....this bra is GREAT and COMFORTABLE! It fits on the sides perfect and is seam less, so it has a great look and fit. I would highly recommend this bra. And be sure to check sizing chart, cause they are sold in European sizes.
Thanks for the wonderful fit!

I got this in the Cappuccino color for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier with it. I was really impressed with all the small detail--the hardware (the hooks, the Chantelle logo in the back) are a sturdy silver metal, and the bra has held up admirably when I've worn it. It won't give you ten tons of cleavage, but it's very supportive even for larger breasts. The only cons I can think of are the lace (which can show through very thin shirts) and the price tag. The price is justifiable though, because this really is a wonderful bra.

The LeMystere Dream Lace Tisha bra is the ONLY bra I have worn for several years. I wash them on the delicate cycle and hang them to dry on a drying rack and they hold up well. Comfortable, supportive, AND pretty!! I only buy when I can get an excellent deal as they ARE expensive....but so very worth every penny. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

This bra provides good fit and good support, as I have regularly experienced with elomi bras. However, it says it is a t-shirt bra, and that is what I was looking for. I really loved the Hermione bra that was similar to this, however, the lace on the sides of these cups extends further forward than on the Hermione bra, and while the cups are seamless and thus don't have the horizontal line across the bust showing through my t-shirt, I instead have a vertical line from the lace showing through. That is annoying in a t-shirt bra. If I hadn't been looking for a t-shirt specific bra, and if this weren't sold as such, it would have gotten 5 stars instead of 4.

I love this bra. I've been wearing this style by Panache for the last 8 years or so, the only issue I have is that in less than a year typically, the little underwire works it's way out and pokes through the top right between the girls, rendering the bra useless after a few months. It has happened with every single bra I've ever bought from Panache, no matter which style

I'm normally a 30D, but in Chantelle bras I always get a 30E (30DD US) and they fit perfectly, as this one did. It's flattering and the placement of the seaming provides some modesty under clothing, although the cups themselves are very thin and unlined lace. I have owned this in purple for several months, and recently got it in a nude-for-me shade too. I wear the purple regularly and hand wash, and it still looks new. My breasts are soft and tend to spill out the center of plunge style bras, but I have no spillage in this at all, and it's comfortable to boot. Again, I would suggest you stick to your regular band size and go up a cup size.

I have the Fantasie Smoothing Balcony bra, both the padded and unlined, and wear them constantly. I love the unlined, it has great support and shape. My only wish is that they came in more colors than black and nude. So I was so happy to find the Echo bra in red, it is beautiful!! It has the same great fit and feel as the Smoothing but definitely prettier. Please make both of these bras in more colors! I would say the unlined styles are consistently sized in both styles, however the padded Smoothing runs just slightly bigger in the cup. I wear a 34 E. Also all of the Fantasie bras wash well and seem to be lasting much longer than other brands.

This my favorite bra that I own. For a larger chest women it's hard to find a bra that is sexy and gives you some support. I wouldn't run in this bra but I don't fall out. It doesn't give me the uni boob that some bras do.

After loving this bra and then hating it and then loving it again, I have finally decided that I do indeed love this bra and it is my favorite.
This was my first bra in 32G (UK sizing) after I was fit properly. I loved it in the beginning but eventually the scratchy lace got to me. More so because I am short and the sides come almost to the armpits sometimes and that was NOT comfortable.
Now after having returned a tonne of Panache, Freya, Wacoal, Curvy Kate and what not, I realised that this gave me the best shape.
The most important thing is that it holds up and forward and doesn't push to the sides (which only makes you feel like the boobs are being smashed and looks large/shapeless both from sides and front). Indeed, I haven't even found a bra which does it as much as this does. Secondly, it has excellent side support- also very flattering. The other things about this bra is the thick straps, imagine having heavy breasts on noodles straps! And it has a thick sides and band.
I would definitely change the lace to a softer fabric. For people which unusual (read large) breasts, who have so few bras to choose from, we would be okay with cotton! Don't try to make it pretty, make it strong!

I usually buy the Elomi brand which can be pricey, so I decided to try this brand as an alternative. I'm so glad I did! The only change I had to make was regarding the sizing since the Elomi is sized European.

Wonderful bra, as all Goddess bras are. Great support & sleek, sexy look. I now own 5 different colors of this bra. I expect that this bra will last, since all my Goddess bras have had excellent workmanship.

I was amazed at how comfortable this bra was to wear right out of the package. I was surprised to see that it was also very supportive. On top of that it is very pretty with the ribbons and lace. Who would have thought you could get all three in the larger cup sizes? The fabric is not the least bit scratchy, even the lace part.
The cup is true to size but, the band is a little small. If you are on the edge of a band size, you might want to get the next size up. However, it is my experience that the band relaxes a little after a few wearings, so it's not a big concern. Another odd thing is the upper fabric is very transparent, so your nipples show through. Since it's an undergarment, it's also not a big concern to me, but some people might be disturbed by it.
I had originally ordered this bra to wear for special occasions, but it is supportive and comfortable enough for everyday wear.

I have never had a problem with Curvy Kate fitting and she hit another home run. Love this bra! And it fits like a dream. Actually touches the breast bone in between, which is apparently just about like finding a unicorn.
Pretty and supportive. Winner!

This bra might become my new favorite! Good support even with a 44/DDD and WIRE FREE! Hopefully it will stand up to the test of time. My other Goddess bras have performed well, so I have high hopes for this one.
The bra itself is quite beautiful with lots of little details for those of you who are into that sort of thing. There are little dainty loops along the straps along with little etched in designs, a little bow in the front, etc. This isn't normally something I would go for, but I must say, it does look pretty. I'll take a pretty bra any day as long as it does the job an doesn't sacrifice comfort to do it. This bra seems to have it all though!
HOWEVER, The "fawn" color is NOT as pictured. I expected something much lighter colored than what I got. The photo (to me anyway) looks almost like a pinkish-white, but the real color is more tan. Fawn probably IS a good description of the true color now that I think of it, but it just doesn't look like the photo is all. It is VERY shiny (at least prior to washing, post-wash remains to be seen) and almost luminescent!

I like this bra so much that I ordered two more just like it! It's not only pretty, but is also very supportive and the sides actually cover the sides of me with no overflow! It makes me and my clothes look better, too.

This bra is very supportive, but the sides of the bra come up so high under the armpit that it causes some chafing. I'm a petite 5'3" person wearing a 32DDD, perhaps a taller person may not have this problem.

I usually wear Freya, Fantasie or Panache & love those brands. I decided to give Curvy Kate a chance and will definitely buy them again. Also, I have a large bust, but small back and shoulders. this bra has fully adjustable straps that stay in place.

Very pretty, great support and comfortable. The straps are designed so they stay put. The material is nice and it seems to be a well made bra. This is my first Chantelle bra and I would definitely buy another in the future.

Having a large cup size and being a teenager, it's hard to find a sexy/cute bra. This one is extremely pretty. The material is also very soft. Some reviews said this bra runs small, and others said it runs large. I went down a size and bought a size 32G, but upon trying it on it was a bit too small. I wish I would have ordered the 32H size instead. I am pretty sure this bra is true to size considering a cup size down for me was too small.
The padding on this bra isn't too extreme. In fact, I think it is very lightly padded. It gives a modest amount of umph to my breasts. Perfect for a date night. (:
Over all I'm very happy with this bra. The only major downside is that it is a bit too small. I'll live with it though. Next time I will just order the 32H.

maybe the cup size runs a little small, I do feel like I have to adjust myself when ever I can steal a private moment, but all scarifies I am willing to make. It looks beautiful on and is the prefect bra for those maxi dresses with the low neck lines

I was really pleased with this Parisa bra when I first tried it on. The fabric is quite soft, the chest band is supportive for bottom heavy breasts, it's all in all quite comfortable.
The few negatives that I found after wearing it for a few hours are: the cup size is slightly too large for me, which I found odd as most 34 H's fit my breasts well. The 34 chest band fits well, it's just the cups that are slightly too large.
One other odd revelation I discovered is the straps are oddly long, and the way the cinch works on them only allows you to tighten it so far. I've only encountered minor slipping on the shoulder straps, but it's enough that others may become annoyed with it; aka, it's not something that annoyed the daylights out of me, but I'm a unique individual with a unique opinion. :)
Wearing the bra a different day for a full shift at work, I did discover that the underwire started to dig into my rib cage a bit after 8 hours. I'm assuming this is because the shoulder straps can't be tightened to where the cup holds my breast up properly, therefore the weight of my bottom heavy breasts, rests on the (ta da!) chest band and underwire.
I would still definitely recommend this bra to friends and family as the fabric and construction are quite comfortable, but I would warn then about the shoulder strap, and the underwire after about 7 hours. I'm wearing the bra now and am taking it out to run errands, my breasts and rib cage are comfortable right now, and I imagine they will stay so for at least the next 4 hours.

I love , love, love, Parisa Bras, they are so comfortable and look beautiful on. They come in larger cup sizes with smaller band size. I can't find 34H in local stores, so I order them from Bare Necessities. Bare Necessities had them beautifully wrapped and once I tried them, they instantly became my favorite bra. I no longer have to be concerned about show through. All the Parisa bras I have are comfortable and figure flattering. Lovely top quality product and service.

After thoroughly jumping around and upside down I conclude that this bra really holds my boobs in place; they don't try to leap out to freedom.
The fabric is see-through, technically, but when I put it on I couldn't see through it at all. The fabric, or rather the seams, are a little scratchy like most bras of this type (that aren't lined on both sides for smoothness) and you can see the seams through a thickish t-shirt, if that bothers you.
The band below the cups is really stiff (but not uncomfortable) so it will never curl in on itself.
Since this is the first bra I've had in a long time that has the correct band size, I can't say if the sizing is off one way or the other.

I love this bra. I am a 36K and this bra not only fits perfectly, but it is very supportive and beautiful. I have not been able to find a bra that fits this good in probably 10 years because of my size. I would recommend it to anyone, especially large busted women. It was a little itchy on the straps at first and occasionally the underwire will dig into my side but nothing like other bras I have bought and once washed a couple of times these problems have stopped being an issue.
